If you’re a serious timepiece enthusiast, you should take a look at this Submariner Ref. 6204 Dive Watch. What makes this remarkable piece stands out is that it is the first Submariner Rolex ever made, which was released at the Basel Fair in 1954. Dedicated to divers with a passion for style, this Rolex Ref. 6204 Watch is able to function perfectly fine at 600 feet (100 meters) deep. The stainless steel case is 37mm wide and features a unidirectional rotating black bezel, which is calibrated to 60 units.

The black matte dial was made at the time of radium and has luminous dagger numeral and dot indexes. On the dial’s outer edge there is an outer minute and second track in gilt, and right inside it there is another sweep centre seconds hand with a luminous dot at the end and gilt pencil hands with luminous inserts. Inside the sturdy case there is a Caliber A260 mechanical movement with 19 jewels. Last but not least, the watch is secured with a stainless steel Rolex Oyster extendable riveted bracelet.

Featuring a classic design that oozes luxury, the Wheelman Bicycle is a truly remarkable two-wheeler that was created by a company named Williamson Goods. Even though it is fully functional, the bicycle could be regarded as a work of art, as it was assembled with great care and attention to detail in Williamson Goods’ own Detroit shop.

Available color options include white, black or orange copper plating, and only ten of each will ever be built. This means that every individual bike will feature its own limited edition number, which adds an extra touch of originality and exclusivity. Highlights include a copper plated bottle, an orange copper plated front rack, a center kickstand, and a hand sewn crocodile skin seat.

Why would anyone pay millions of dollars for a statue depicting none other than Adolf Hitler, you ask? Well, it might have something to do with the deceptive nature of the art piece, which was created by an Italian artist named Maurizio Cattelan. Dubbed “Him,” the statue was put together back in 2001 using hair, wax and polyester resin, and it looks like a small child kneeling in prayer from the rear, but when viewed from the front, it shows off the 20th century dictator in his entire “splendor.”

The Statue was auctioned off by Christie’s in New York, and it was purchased for about $17,2 million, which means that it broke the previous record for a piece sold by Cattelan, which was $7.9 million. When asked about this unique statue, and what it represents, the artist stated the following:

“Hitler is pure fear. It’s an image of terrible pain. It even hurts to pronounce his name. And yet that name has conquered my memory. It lives in my head, even if it remains taboo. I wanted to destroy it myself. I changed my mind a thousand times, every day.”

IYC Yachts and Admiral Yachts have just unveiled the exceptional Vetta 40 vessel, which can be delivered to its future owners in under two years. Featuring a build time of 22 months, this model flaunts an all-aluminum body, as well as gorgeously adorned interiors that are able to support a luxurious lifestyle for all family members. The yacht is completely customizable, which means that potential owners will always be able to select their favorite fabrics, materials and decors.

The layout includes an expansive sundeck that can be complemented by an outdoor cinema, a Jacuzzi, a bar and a social beach club area. The engine room and other technical spaces are hidden from sight, and they were sketched out specifically to require as little maintenance as possible. Vetta 40 will cost about $16 million, which isn’t really that expensive considering the vessel’s beauty, performance, and size.

It’s true that a regular domino set will only set you back a couple of dollars, but if your pockets are too big for your own good, you could end up purchasing a ridiculously expensive alternative, all thanks to a German design company named Lieb Manufaktur. The world’s most expensive Dominos set was created in collaboration with VENDOR, and it includes a total of 28 dominos, each made out of solid gold and adorned with luxurious diamonds.

The pieces are carved out of 18k gold, and they are encrusted with 15 carats of diamonds. The specially curated marble case used for the packaging is also a big plus, and it definitely contributes to the $153,000 price tag. The product will be offered in two different variants, one of which is named VUMIDO and includes a full set of 28 dominos, while the DONUM version will be a singular set of 1 domino.

Those of you who know a thing or two about Nixie tube clocks will definitely want to hear about this awesome little gadget. Dubbed Bulb Keo, the product includes a series of stainless steel cathodes that were shaped as numbers and placed behind a wire mesh. The entire setup sits in a tube filled with ionized neon gas, and when power runs through a specific cathode, it glows in an eye-catching orange hue in order to indicate the current time.

The Bulb Keo is a more than just a simple desktop clock, though, as it can also tell the temperature and the date in the same unique manner. With the help of a remote, it can take on the role of a backlight, which can always come in handy while working at a desk. All of this for just $300 sounds like a pretty good deal, wouldn’t you agree?

The Bentley Mulliner division was created to satisfy the most demanding customization requirements of the British automaker’s clients. Building on already highly luxurious vehicles, every new Mulliner car becomes an instant classic, admired and coveted by many.

With every new project, the bespoke division takes Bentley vehicles one step closer to perfection in a consistent effort to always deliver the very best results. One excellent example of their indisputable expertise is the gorgeous Mulsanne Speed Beluga Edition. It is a limited run custom version that boasts a series of special interior and exterior finishes that give a touch of understated sophistication to an already superb car.

On the inside, the sill plates bear the “Belluga Edition” mark, and the seats feature premium leather upholstery. Clients can take customization further by adding Piano Black, Dark Stained or Burr Walnut trimming. The exterior is painted in a sleek black color and is complimented by dark 21-inch five-spoke alloy wheels for a perfectly stealthy look. The hood ornament also features a dark tint, as well as a laser-etched “Beluga Edition” engraving.

Powering the Beluga Edition Mulsanne Speed is a 6.75-liter V8 engine capable of 530 bhp and a staggering 1,100 Nm of torque. It can reach a top speed of 190 mph and needs only 4.8 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph.

Part of the Lo Scienziato collection, which was inspired by and dedicated to Galileo Galilei, the PaneraiLuminor 1950 Tourbillon GMT Titanio is a superb 47mm luxury timepiece. Manufactured for the first time in titanium, the watch is larger than other models in the line, yet its weight is still perfectly optimized for uncompromised comfort.

The lightness of the piece is ensured by both the extensive use of an inherently lightweight material, as well as by the lack of a traditional dial. Beautifully exposed, the titanium movement shows its tourbillon, small seconds, 24-hour indicator and second time zone complications. The case weighs 40% less than steel, while the mechanism (caliber P.2005/T) is 35% lighter than the original skeletonized version.

At the 3 o’clock position there is a small dial which shows whether the second time zone hand indicates an AM or a PM time. The small seconds dial is placed at the 9 o’clock position, while the six-day power reserve indicator can be seen at the back of the watch, through a sapphire crystal porthole.

Luftgekuhlt passionately turn air-cooled Porsche cars into beautiful collectible pieces, and this 1985 Porsche Carrera is an example of their wonderful work. The brand loves to work with likeminded people on their bold and creative projects, and this one too is the beautiful result of a good collaboration with other auto enthusiasts.

The modified rally-style 911 Carrera is quirky and undeniably interesting, being both a cool off-road vehicle and a great everyday car. Inspired by California’s racing history, specifically desert races, the tuners have equipped the Porsche with off-road lights, skid plates, lifted suspensions and a vintage-hipster-style roof rack with a spare tire secured on with leather straps.

The car was built to be sold for charity. Luftgekuhlt designed to raise money for the Autumn Leaves Project (supporting pancreatic cancer research), and they enlisted the help of RM Sotheby’s for that. Experts estimate the modified Porsche to sell for $100,000 to $150,000.

Caye Sereno is an exclusive residential community in Vietnam, consisting of eighteen gorgeous luxury villas. It was designed by Maria Cristina Motta and Marcio Kogan of MK27, a renowned Brazilian architecture studio. The residences are located in one of the most stunning places on Earth: Vietnam’s Ha Long Bay.

Marcio Kogan was definitely intimidated by the fact that he would have to create beautiful living spaces without disrupting the beauty of this UNESCO heritage site, but he accepted the challenge and delivered amazing results. One of the project’s main focuses was to take full advantage of the community’s privileged position and to make sure that the windows would frame the best possible views.

The villas come in a number of different sizes and configurations, offering from 7,082 square feet to 11,786 square feet of space. All of them ensure easy access to the nearby waterfront and feature inviting outdoor lounging areas. In all villas, the upper level hosts a gorgeous master suite, leaving the ground level open for socialization and seamless access to the backyard and infinity pool.

Prices start at $3.5 million, with each owner having access to prime facilities, such as a gym and yoga studio, a water activities canter, a tennis court, and a 27-hole golf course. The community’s remoteness plays a huge role in its undeniable appeal, but owners don’t have to worry about isolation either, because the flight connections are excellent and very reliable.
